cuccinelli looks like he could lose. if in fact cuccinelli loses, chris christi wins, what does that say about the future of the republican party? >> every individual race is different, but i think the republican party is a big party. and we need moderates like chris christi who can win in new jersey and our party. but we do need moderates like chris christi in the party. as far as cuccinelli, i like him. i hope he wins. in the last few days, it's gotten narrower because people are really unhappy with obama care, and he was one of the leaders. and when he sued, he said one important thing. he said if someone chooses not to buy insurance, are they committing an act of trade or commerce? and i think that point was well taken, because at the supreme court, ultimately they didn't rule on the interstate commerce clause and cuccinelli was very prescient in saying, interstate commerce is not just to buy this. and i think he won that argument on obama care. >> is chris christi the guy to beat for the republican nomination in 201

the problem for ken cuccinelli has been that his unfavorables are over 50%. >> so cuccinelli tried to use the zras truss obama care rollout to increase his chances. did he succeed? >> well, we'll know this evening, carol. but i doubt it. let's put it this way. every single public and private survey that's reliable has mcauliffe ahead. the margins vary. as low as 2%, as high as 12%. it's somewhere in between i assume. but, look, it was obama care for cuccinelli versus the government shutdown for mcauliffe. obama care obviously connected to the democrats and to the president would hurt mcauliffe. but maybe they neutralized one another. >> women voters are a big factor in this election too, right? >> oh absolutely. look, men are pretty much evenly divided between the candidates, although that's bad news for cuccinelli. he should have a lead with men. but the gender gap is as large as i've ever seen it. it's been as high as 24 percentage points women in favor of mcauliffe over cuccinelli. it's remarkable. but mcauliffe has stressed issues like abortion that tend to have an impact, contrac
